Tonight's game is the final home game for the Stanford seniors, although rushing star Toby Gerhart could petition to come back next year because he missed almost all of the 2007 season with a knee injury.

He has said he will decide whether to enter the NFL draft after he assesses how high he's likely to be picked.

Cornerback Richard Sherman, also listed as a senior, probably will petition for another year on the grounds that he saw limited action last year because of a knee injury.
